From: Dotan Cohen on 18 Apr 2010 12:30 A neighbor with an old Debian (probably etch but could be sarge) machine needs to know where a USB smart card reader attached via RS232 adaptor would be found in the filesystem. He went through /dev, with special attention on the tty* entries, but did not find it. What is the right way to find the device so that he could mount it?

I am going over there to help him tomorrow, so to come prepared I started googling today. Although the USB-serial adaptors seem to be popular, I find nothing about how to mount devices attached to them. I am assuming that, being a card reader, I will be able to mount the media (card). -- Dotan Cohen http://bido.com http://what-is-what.com -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

(a) is common, (b) is what you described, but I've never heard of (b). Are you sure you wrote what you really mean? Anyway, did you or he check dmesg? This is the important quote, I think: "Infinity USB Smart is based on the HID standard, no custom drivers are needed". -- Dissent is patriotic, remember? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
